[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Extract a reusable messageSender macro from the current activity macro

Hi devs, I`ve recently worked on extracting the textarea input from the activity stream macro into a separate and reusable {{messageSender}} macro that is able to do just that, send messages. By default, the activity macro will still display the messages text area (by including itself the messageSender macro), but it can also be disabled by passing the messageSender='false' parameter to the activity macro. The new messageSender can be used wherever you want to be able to send a message and do not want to carry the whole activity stream with you (with all it's performance and layout impact). Please check out the Jira issue [1] and the available pull requests [2][3] for additional details. I`d like your vote on whether or not we want to include this into platform. Here's my +1. If your vote is positive, should we add it for 4.1M2 (which is scheduled on Monday)? Note that I am also working on adding filtering support to the activity macro and am planning to build on top of this :) Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7679 [2] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise/pull/22 [3] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/48
